Re: [Mingw-users] GCC3.2: compilation errors when declaring ctors/dtors as_declspec(dllexport)

[Norbert I. <8i...@in...>]

I thought that attributes must come after a function definition (not before
them).

Does that mean i cannot use _declspec(dllexport) in front of a function
definition,
like with Microsoft C compilers?

So i would have to write
  void foobar() __declspec(dllexport);
instead of
  __declspec(dllexport) void foobar();    ?

This would be bad, because this would require big changes to source
code developed initially for MS compilers.

But in any case, i tried both variants, with one underscore and two
underscores,
and both cause a parse error, just try it, if you don't believe me.

class Test {
   __declspec(dllexport) Test(int a);  // --> parse error, too
}
